Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs pleads no contest to misdemeanor charges

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs entered no contest pleas to charges of misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property in Brown County Circuit Court on September 10. The charges originated from a May 23 domestic disturbance at a home in Hobart involving his girlfriend. Investigators reviewed video evidence from the residence that corroborated reports of a physical struggle during which Jacobs allegedly threw the woman to the ground, causing her to strike her head. Prosecutors chose not to pursue felony strangulation or additional misdemeanor charges. As part of the plea agreement for the battery charge, Jacobs received a $1,000 fine plus costs, while the criminal damage charge requires supervision, counseling, and restitution. The NFL is conducting its own investigation into the incident, during which time Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list.
